10. IEEE 1284
Compatibility Mode – used for directing data from
computer to peripheral (output only)
Nibble Mode – 4 bit (Input only)
Byte Mode – uses software drivers same as nibble
mode (8 bit)
Enhanced Parallel Port Mode (EPP) – it is
hardware driven and bi-directional, high speed
parallel port interface
Enhanced Capability Port Mode (ECP) – same as
EPP uses DMA

hubs to the USB
 Has two different connections: connection A and
connection B

18. Infrared Ports
 Communicate with the system without using wires
 Devices send out infrared signals that enter the system
through this port
Infrared Port
Chapter 10 Slide 18 of 20

19. Bluetooth Port
 Allows wireless communication between devices within a
ranged distance
 Uses 2.45 GHz frequency range for data communication
 A Bluetooth adapter required for the computer and a
Bluetooth compatible device to communicate
 Speed is 1 or 2 Mbps depending on the version
Chapter 10 Slide 19 of 20

20. IEEE 1394 Bus
 Enables fast and high serial data transfer rate of upto 400
Mb per second
 Connects and supplies power to the connected devices
such as printer, scanner, web camera and generally used
for transferring audio and video data from a camera to the
system
 Known as FireWire by Apple and iLink by Sony
Chapter 10 Slide 20 of 20

21. S-Video Port
 Short for Super-Video, a
technology for transmitting
video signals over a cable by
dividing the video information
into two separate signals: one
for color (chrominance), and
the other for brightness
(luminance). When sent to a
television, this produces
sharper images than composite
video, where the video
information is transmitted as a
single signal over one wire.
This is because televisions are
designed to display separate
Luminance (Y) and
Chrominance (C) signals. (The
terms Y/C video and S-Video
are the same.)
Chapter 10 Slide 21 of 20

22. DVI Monitor Port
 Short for Digital Visual
Interface, in this case data is
transmitted using the transition
minimized differential signaling
(TMDS) protocol, providing a
digital signal from the PC's
graphics subsystem to the
display. The standard specifies
a single plug and connector that
encompass both the new digital
and legacy VGA interfaces, as
well as a digital-only plug
connector. DVI handles
bandwidths in excess of 160
MHz and thus supports UXGA
and HDTV with a single set of
links.

30. Serial or Parallel Cable Testing
 Cable tester is used to
verify the connections of
the cables connected to
the computer. It is an
electronic device, which is
used to check the
connections in the cable.
Consists of a current
source, voltmeter and a
switching matrix. All the
contact points in the cable
are connected to a source
of current and a voltmeter
using a switching matrix.
